Turtles might not be the first thing you think of when watching a play about Gallipoli, but Justin Fleming’s latest, Shellshock, is an exception. With the story brought to life by shadow puppets and some nifty lighting, Shellshock explores the love between 14-year-old Tom and his pet turtle, Herman, who may be the oldest living survivor of the Gallipoli campaign. Starring the young Benson Jack Anthony, Shellshock is exclusive to Riverside Theatres, playing from Thursday July 30 – Saturday August 8.
We have two double passes to give away to the Friday July 31 performance.
